Physics Chapter 19 Class Problems

This document contains multiple physics problems related to thermodynamics and ideal gases. Problem 11 asks the reader to calculate the work done by air that is expanded isothermally and then cooled at constant pressure. Problem 13 provides a cyclic process graph and asks about the number of moles, temperatures, and net heat added. Problem 44 involves calculating the change in internal energy and heat added for an ideal diatomic gas along different paths in a pressure-volume graph.

Class Problems Chapter 19

11. Air that initially occupies 0.140 m3 at a gauge pressure of 103.0 kPa is


expanded isothermally to a pressure of 101.3 kPa and then cooled at constant
pressure until it reaches its initial volume. Compute the work done by the air.
(Gauge pressure is the difference between the actual pressure and atmospheric
pressure.)

13. A sample of an ideal gas is taken through the cyclic process abca shown in Fig.
19-20. The scale of the vertical axis is set by pb = 7.5 kPa and pac = 2.5 kPa. At
point a, T = 200 K. (a) How many moles of gas are in the sample? What are (b) the
temperature of the gas at point b, (c) the temperature of the gas at point c, and (d)
the net energy added to the gas as heat during the cycle?

Figure 19-20   Problem 13.
  

25. Determine the average value of the translational kinetic energy of the
molecules of an ideal monatomic gas at (a) 0.00°C and (b) 100°C. What is the
translational kinetic energy per mole of an ideal gas at (c) 0.00°C and (d) 100°C?
35. Ten particles are moving with the following speeds: four at 200 m/s, two at
500 m/s, and four at 600 m/s. Calculate their (a) average and (b) rms speeds. (c) Is
vrms > vavg?

44. One mole of an ideal diatomic gas goes from a to c along the diagonal path in
Fig. 19-25. The scale of the vertical axis is set by pab = 5.0 kPa and pc = 2.0 kPa,
and the scale of the horizontal axis is set by Vbc = 4.0 m3 and Va = 2.0 m3.
During the transition, (a) what is the change in internal energy of the gas, and (b)
how much energy is added to the gas as heat? (c) How much heat is required if the
gas goes from a to c along the indirect path abc?

52  Suppose 12.0 g of oxygen (O2) gas is heated at constant atmospheric pressure


from 25.0°C to 125°C. (a) How many moles of oxygen are present? (See Table
19-1 for the molar mass.) (b) How much energy is transferred to the oxygen as
heat? (The molecules rotate but do not oscillate.) (c) What fraction of the heat
is used to raise the internal energy of the oxygen?
59  Figure 19-26 shows two paths that may be taken by a gas from an initial point i
to a final point f. Path 1 consists of an isothermal expansion (work is 50 J in
magnitude), an adiabatic expansion (work is 40 J in magnitude), an isothermal
compression (work is 30 J in magnitude), and then an adiabatic compression
(work is 25 J in magnitude). What is the change in the internal energy of the
gas if the gas goes from point i to point f along path 2?
